Noctua’s NT-H1 is a renowned hybrid thermal compound that has received more than 150 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines. Thanks to its excellent performance, exceptional ease of use and outstanding long-term stability, it has become an established favourite among overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide. Whether it’s air- or water-based cooling, CPU or GPU applications, overclocking or silent systems: NT-H1 is a proven premium paste that promises to deliver great results.
Award-winning performance
Bundled with Noctua’s premium-grade CPU coolers since 2007, NT-H1 has proven its excellent performance in countless of tests and reviews. Chosen again and again by overclockers and hardware enthusiast around the globe, it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal interface materials (TIMs).
Easy to clean
NT-H1 is one of the easiest to clean thermal compounds on the market: Simply wipe it off the CPU and heatsink with a dry tissue or paper towel, then wipe them clean with a moist tissue or towel. No cleaning alcohol or solvent required!
Not electrically conductive, non-corroding
While some high-end thermal compounds and pads are risky to use due to their electrical conductivity or corroding properties, there’s no risk of short-circuits with NT-H1 and it’s completely safe to use with any type of CPU cooler, regardless of whether it’s made from copper or aluminium and whether it’s nickel-plated or not.
Excellent long-term stability
NT-H1's unique formula is highly stable over time, even after longer periods of usage. It can be stored at room temperature for at least 3 years and due to the compound’s exceptional curing, bleeding, dry-out and thermal cycling characteristics, it can be used on the CPU for 5 years or more.
Extra-large 10g package for 9-60 applications
Sufficient for around 9-60 applications (depending on the size of the CPU or GPU, e.g. around 9 applications for large CPUs such as TR4 and around 60 for small CPUs such as LGA1151), the extra-large 10g packaging size is ideal for power users who install coolers frequently.
Easy to apply
Thanks to its excellent spreading properties, there is no need to manually spread NT-H1 before installing the cooler: Simply apply some paste onto the CPU (see instructions for details), put on the heatsink and you’re ready to go!

I got the Noctua NT-H1 10g for a build as I ran out of thermal paste, and it’s great. As an IT professional, I go through thermal paste pretty often, so having a larger tube like this is perfect.It’s easy to apply, spreads evenly, and gets the job done without any fuss. It's a good product all around. Does a great job long term too.

La pâte thermique Noctua NT-H1 est tout simplement exceptionnelle ! Utilisée lors du montage de mon système informatique, elle a considérablement amélioré la conductivité thermique de mon processeur. Sa texture est facile à appliquer et garantit une couverture uniforme, assurant ainsi une dissipation efficace de la chaleur. De plus, sa formule non conductrice d'électricité élimine tout risque de court-circuit, offrant une tranquillité d'esprit supplémentaire. Avec son format généreux de 10 g, j'ai pu l'utiliser sur plusieurs composants, ce qui en fait un excellent rapport qualité-prix. En résumé, la pâte thermique Noctua NT-H1 est un incontournable pour tous les passionnés d'informatique cherchant à optimiser les performances thermiques de leur système.

10 grams is a lot of thermal paste and I am still using this for my future builds. This stuff works and keeps my CPU temps down.

Noctua NT-H1 is the best thermal paste you can buy. NT-H2 is barely better and not worth the extra cost in my opinion. If you look at thermal tests, both NT-H1 and NT-H2 sit at the top consistently. The best feature of this paste is that it is not too thick and not too runny. It's the perfect balance, so it spreads easily and doesn't make a mess. Plus $15 for a 10g tube is great price.

Let's face it there not rated very high with the thermal heat transferring to the heatsink as much as other like Thermal grizzly. But there good enough i believe like 8.5w/mk or some like that. TG is anywhere from 8.5 as well and 13 or so for there highest non liquid metal thermal paste. Best things going for Noctua is there paste reliably and long lasting life, easier to spread (in my opinion) then other paste. And fills in those gaps nicely. And lastly there price, you can get a bigger tube of this then most other for cheaper. Oh one more thing, they actually make there very own other pc parts for cooling like heatsinks and fans. And have been around for a long time. The brand name Noctua has a good reputation, and hasn't angered customers recently like other companies have. (At least i don't think they have. So unless you're overclocking, Noctua is a great buy for cheap and reliable thermal paste that will last year's before needed to be changed again.

I repaste my cpu and gpu yearly. cryonaut is better but costs more. I do play some demanding games, but I don't overclock my ryzen 3600 or 6800xt, my case has excellent airflow and my ambient room temp is never over 76F, so spending extra on a better paste is pointless. Even Noctua is overkill, but it's easier to clean than cheaper pastes I've tried, so it hits the 3D bullseye of price, performance and convenience. I suppose it's worth noting I've never had any issues with application, nor with the tube/applicators failing, very consistent product.

I did a LOT of research about viscosity and thermal characteristics to fins a product that meets my needs without a premium price. Noctua is very transparent with their thermal specifications and do not hide their product behind obscure information and flashy consumer grade fluff. Know what you are buying and what it is for. This stuff is perfect in my very thermally challenged gaming tablet- and it works well to dissapate heat when and where I need it.

I didn't know it could be this cheap. I usually buy 4 grams of Arctic Silver MX-4 for $10, and this is 10 grams for $20.Not only did it outperform the dried-up MX-4, but it dropped my GPU core temps by almost 30 degrees!

I used this to refresh the paste on my 3 year old gaming PC, it's easy to apply, cleans up easily without the need for an solvents and you get enough for many applications in the tube. Temps are great afterwards, better than when the PC was new.
